Special Purpose Examination (SPEX) is a
complex test designed to examine a physician’s fund of knowledge. Federation of
State Medical Boards is the creator of this exam. Physicians who have been out
of practice for an extended period of time, depending on their state medical
board’s regulations, are required to take this test.

Within
the structure of the current exam 336 questions are the substance of this test.
These questions are broken down into 7 segments with 64 minutes allocated for
each section. Stated in another format each question is allotted 1.3 minutes. Passing
grade is 75. States can amend the pass grade as they determine the necessity
to. Taken over a one day period insufficient time is given to evaluate each
question. The failure rate is high. Many physicians are forced to take this
exam two or more times. Crucial to the examinees are the direction in which to
apply their studies.

Many books which are designated as SPEX
references are either out of date and or inapplicable to the current test
format. Federation of State Medical Boards literature is vague to the contents
of this exam and misdirects the potential examinee on which information to
study. For the aforementioned reasons SPEX TUTORIAL SERVICES came into being.

A “One on One” tutorial with Mark Davis
MD, who has extensive knowledge of the SPEX exam’s contents, will emphasize key
study areas. Recurrent question formats will be discussed in depth. Areas of
study applicable to the SPEX, not mentioned in reference literature will be
analyzed extensively. Esoteric subject matter from prior tests will be
highlighted. Physicians have found this format with Dr. Davis extremely helpful
in their studies to pass the SPEX exam and get back into practice.

Tuition rate for a one on one tutorial
with Dr. Davis is $250 per hour. Many physicians purchase 1-2 hours at a time.
As the course of their studies progress many doctors return for several more
segments. With a physician’s study time limited Dr. Davis adapts his schedule
closely to that of the examinee.

Books and
reviews are inseparable. Reviews are fingerprints of the authored work they
intend to display. A proper critique demands an appropriate analysis to draw
out the best in a book. Many books languish, forgotten relics of hard work and
vision. My job as a book reviewer is to flesh out important aspects of a publication
so potential readers will be drawn into the substance of the work. There are
very few bad books. Yet there are many poorly conceived reviews. A reviewer’s
challenge is give his or her reader a flavor of the book being considered. With
the latter in mind a book review should be authentic, unique and well written.

Best Book Reviews came into existence because
its owner, Mark Davis MD, was not able to obtain appropriate review services
when needed for his works. The few reviewers available requested outrageous
prices to perform the work. Dr. Davis has a wide experience reviewing, proofing
and copy editing books and journal articles. He reviews nonfiction books of
most genres and science fiction. Whether it is a hard back, paper format, E
book or other digital representation the review is always thorough, timely and
worth the limited expense. Dr. Davis’ rates for review are extremely
competitive. Do not let your book languish. A good review highlights booth the
author and his work. Please contact Dr. Davis to discuss or perform a review at

Meandering through the
streets of Washington D.C., one day after Donald Trump’s inauguration, gaggles
of women came to voice their concerns about our new President. Included in this
group were the famous, infamous and the desperate. Stars of liberalism were
sprinkled throughout the crowds. None was more ferocious than the queen of
sexual deviancy than Madonna Louise Ciccone or simply Madonna.

Giving voice to tens of
thousands whose lives are hidden behind commonality Madonna’s sharp tongue
articulated the inexcusable. In an unintelligible rant fraught with the F word Madonna
exhorted personal considerations to destroy the White House. This dissolute
creature who pulled herself up from the gutter believes her wealth and fame
should allow her to threaten anyone she is in disagreement with. Donald Trump
is presently in the crosshairs of her less than insightful mind. Before he has had
the chance to sign one piece of legislation into law this vixen of song wants
him to meet his Maker by her hands. Normally when a person utters statements
similar to hers the Secret Service would be at their door. Yet Madonna appears
to have escaped government scrutiny for her verbal failings at least for now.

Women and others claiming to
be women protested in the time honored tradition allowed by the Constitution. They
came to Washington by the tens of thousands to deride the new President in media
created belief that Trump believes women are beneath him. A small percentage of
this motley group stepped over the line by displaying disgusting physical
representations of female body parts. Reflecting Madonna’s sentiments many
utilized threatening gestures and words in a mindless attempt to derail a new government.
Part of the conversation concerned Trump’s personal morality. If there were
comparisons to be made with the new President the morality of the provocateurs
should be questioned.

Donald Trump, in his usual
style, tweeted the following concerning those who descended on the Capital: “Watched
protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election!
Why didn't these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly.” His words were not ones
of dissension but of observation. President Trump believes in the right to gather,
protest and let off a little verbal steam. He questions the motivations of
celebs who want to capture the limelight for one more spin around the block
before going into oblivion. Distraught that America now has an alpha male in
power instead of a gamma liberal minds seek to undermine the legitimacy of this
new President. Their failures only strengthen the new Presidency which
displayed enormous reserve in not constraining and containing these reprobates.

Donald Trump’s First
Amendment beliefs were on display this weekend. Unlike Nixon, who I also
admired, our new President could have ordered harsher tactics upon those who
threatened the nation’s central seat of power. He did not. In doing so Trump
set the tone of toleration for his term in office with one caveat: he will call
out anyone who denigrates him. Celebs should be placed on notice the people are
back in power. While Trump is clearing out the mess Obama left if you want to
see the former denizen of the Oval Office make a left, head towards the left
coast and follow the signs to la la land.

As many physicians have discovered the Special
Examination (SPEX) test was designed to fail. This exam’s broad contents,
extensive set of questions and limited time to complete have caused an
extremely high failure rate. Literature by the Federation of State Medical
Boards, concerning this exam, is vague and misdirects applicants on what
material to study.

SPEX test consists of 336 questions broken
down into 7 sections. Each segment contains 48 questions that must be finished
in 64 minutes. This requires that examinees finish each question in 1.3 minutes.
Many questions are 10 or more sentences in length with attached graphs,
diagrams and or x-rays. Examinees are provided insufficient time to evaluate
the circumstance of each question therefore choosing the correct answer becomes
extremely difficult. This test is not a fair representation of a physician’s
knowledge or abilities. Yet state boards require this unfair test under a
number of circumstances. Usually a physician who has been away from practice
for a prescribed period of time is a candidate. Unfortunately most medical
boards provide no help in directing the physician where to emphasize his or her
time. For the aforementioned reasons SPEX TUTORIAL SERVICES came into being.

One on one tutoring helps candidates for
the SPEX exam focus on the proper course of study. Your tutor, Mark Davis MD,
has accumulated a vast experience with this exam. His knowledge ranges from
specific question content to the flow of subject matter on recent exams. Dr.
Davis will discuss which books and videos will give you the most return for
time spent. With a physician’s limited time learning the most important aspects
of the SPEX test will give the examinee a clear edge in order to pass this
exam.

To schedule time with Dr. Mark Davis
please use the following email: platomd@gmail.com or the following phone numbers:
service 410-515-7858 or office 410-515-7848. Tuition is $250 per hour. Your
time and money will be well spent with this service. All interactions are
performed with strict confidentiality. Thank you, Mark Davis MD.

SPECIAL EXAMINATION is a
complex medical test comprised currently of 336 questions taken over a seven
hour time period. This test is given by the Federation of State Boards to
Physicians who have been out of practice for a prescribed period of time
depending upon their state medical board. The test covers a range of medical
specialties. Books that are available are of quasi help to potential test takers.
Currently the passing grade necessary is 75. Without proper direction the
failure rate is extremely high. The Federation of State Medical Boards claims
if you review current medical literature that would prepare you for this exam,
not so. Based on the clinical sections of the USMLE the SPEX requires the
potential test taker to study a wide field of information. As a tutor for this
exam I direct physicians on how to manage their study efforts. I have taken this
exam three times in the last 25 years including recently. Knowledge of the exam
contents will give the examinee a better chance of moving towards a passing
grade. This will save both time and money to the examinee. In the event you
need help and guidance how to study for the SPEX please contact me at platomd@gmail.com. You will find the expense well worth it. Mark Davis,
MD
